    It’s worse, when a cmd.exe window pops up and immediately closes after you opened the docx on Windows 😱

    This shit never happens on Linux. No idea why.

      If that is happening, you should probably nuke your system. Word is not supposed to open up a cmd, and malicious macros have been a prime vector for malware for decades at this point

          Sure, if it’s company managed. I wouldn’t trust myself to find all malware though, so I’d go the route of backing up important stuff (better yet, have it backed up already) and then reinstalling the OS

          But then again, I’m on NixOS and haven’t touched windows in months, so that’s not really a problem I have
